This is a decent enough read when you're in the mood for something that won't stretch your brain at all (and that's the mood I'm in right now, which is why I plan to start the sequel right away).
I did find it a bit disappointing that even though a lot of the narrative takes place in a galley or in restaurants, all of the food mentioned was really basic, uninteresting, and sparsely described.
I also thought it was a shame that almost all the characters used every moment of their spare time trying to make more money. There wasn't even any explanation of why they wanted to do this - there just seemed to be a blanket assumption that of course everyone always wants more money.
